* SEATON Carew are in with chance of retaining their Durham County Mixed Foursomes title.

But it will their B team pairing of Chris Chalk and Isabelle Foley who will have to hang on to the crown after Jane Longhorn and John Ellwood, their A team, were knocked out by Durham City's Graham Marchbank and Louise Richardson at the 22nd at Heworth yesterday.

The City pair couldn't repeat that win over Seaton B going down by one hole.

Next Sunday's semi-finals will be Seaton B v Ryton A and Bishop Auckland A v Roseberry Grange.
